Hey Everyone,

I've had a few interviews for my spot opening up in July. I'm not sure which child to chose. All would suit well in different ways. Here are my options

Option 1: A three year old girl. Mom and Dad were great and seemed to be on the same page as me. I have two other three year old girls who I think would get along great with her. one is going to school in the afternoons in September so the new girl would suit as company for my other three year old as I'm very sure neither will be napping come September.

Option 2: A one year old. I'm weary about taking on another baby when the majority of the children are getting a bit older. In september I'll have one 18mon old, three two year olds and two three year olds. But these parents were AWESOME!!!! Exactly my style and the little one was completely laid back. Part of my thinks that taking on a baby is worth having an amazing family to work with. These are friend of another client of mine.

option 3: A child turning two in a couple months. He's exactly my childs age and then I'll have four children around the same age. This would make it easier for activities, outing, free time, everything. Dad is pretty laid back but mom is not. She seems anxious with her children and has given me the sense (in many different ways) that her children do not listen to her. I'm not worried that this will be the case for me but mom is a bit of a red flag.

All these families live in my area and I meet them on the street all the time, so I feel like I should chose wisely.

I could give positions to two of these families as all require part-time. But I won't have as much help for busy days come september (I'd have to hire a back-up assistant) Which two options would you chose? Or, if you had to choose just one, who?
